Journal ArticleDOI

StringTie enables improved reconstruction of a transcriptome from RNA-seq reads

TL;DR: StringTie, a computational method that applies a network flow algorithm originally developed in optimization theory, together with optional de novo assembly, to assemble these complex data sets into transcripts produces more complete and accurate reconstructions of genes and better estimates of expression levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transactivation of miR-34a by p53 broadly influences gene expression and promotes apoptosis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) are important components of the p53 transcriptional network and miR-34a-responsive genes are highly enriched for those that regulate cell-cycle progression, apoptosis, DNA repair, and angiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

c-Myc suppression of miR-23a/b enhances mitochondrial glutaminase expression and glutamine metabolism.

TL;DR: In this paper, the c-Myc (hereafter referred to as Myc) oncogenic transcription factor, which is known to regulate microRNAs and stimulate cell proliferation, transcriptionally represses miR-23a and miR23b, resulting in greater expression of their target protein, mitochondrial glutaminase, in human P-493 B lymphoma cells and PC3 prostate cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic microRNA Delivery Suppresses Tumorigenesis in a Murine Liver Cancer Model

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells exhibit reduced expression of miR-26a, a miRNA that is normally expressed at high levels in diverse tissues that may provide a general strategy for miRNA replacement therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Widespread microRNA repression by Myc contributes to tumorigenesis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the c-Myc oncogenic transcription factor (Myc) is pathologically activated in many human malignancies and the predominant consequence of activation of Myc is widespread repression of miRNA expression.
